Summary
What are archetypes? What is the collective unconscious? Both these concepts are two of Jung’s most famous and exciting ideas.
In this volume, taken from the Collective Works, Jung describes and elaborates upon these two central concepts of his psychology. Included are essays on specific archetypes, a study of the process of individuation, and an account of mandala symbolism. The Journal of Analytical Psychology in its review of the text commented: ‘An eloquent witness to Jung’s greatness of mind and heart. His idea of the archetype involves profound attitudes towards man’s existence and intimates values through which very many people have found a new significance in their lives.’ In its original print format, The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious was profusely illustrated with many illustrations in full colour, and these are all available on a companion PDF which can be downloaded with this recording.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Baptism into Jungian Theory
Great place to start with Jung before you get stuck into the real masterpieces of Aion, Psychology & Alchemy and Mysterium Coniunctionis

Terrible narration of a classic text
The. reading of. this book. is so stilted that. it sounds. as though. it. is being. read by. William Shatner. playing. Captain. Kirk. in an epi. sode of. Star Trek.
Jung's text is a classic for readers of the history of psychology and counselling. It's dated, obviously, and rather a shame that he limits his message by framing so many cultures as "Primitive" when there's intention to draw readers' attention to the influences of a diverse range of texts.
But, dear God, the performer who read this made some Bold Choices. Not as bad as the readers on the apps that summarise pop psychology books. But bad. Listen on a 1.25 speed so the pauses. are. not. so. painful. Or just skip the Audible and read the book.
Did I mention the narration is bad?

First 75% was interesting and insightful
Personally I would skip the whole last section on Mandela interpretation I found it lacked any empirical back up
I can confirm Martins reading style and phrasing took me a little while to adapt to but got used to it after the first couple of hours and wasn’t a distraction
He is definitely not a robot by the way

Not too bad but missing a section
I am listening to this alongside reading the equivalent book i.e. Jung's collected works volume 9 part 1 published by Routledge. Up to this point I have enjoyed it despite the voice being a bit robotic.
I have just got to page 335 and the audio skips to page 355. Nineteen pages worth of audio are strangely missing. The missing pages are Jung's commentary on the pictures 8-24 drawn by patient X plus the conclusion of the section.
A bit of a shame. Spoke to customer service who were helpful but mystified.
Just be aware of this before you purchase.

Why the horrible cadence?
Srsly this reader sounds like AI, it has the most horrible cadence in the world. Its robotic, constantly interrupted. Jung is already hard to follow, why did they choose this terrible reader to make it even harder ( as a consequence of its awful rhythm). I wish a human would read this. Jung deserves a good reader.

Find a different narrator for this
The worst narrator I have ever listened to, literally ruined the experience. Find a different version

Poor narration
I didn't expect an easy listen and this text certainly isn't a primer in the subject. Being new to the subject but keen to learn I wasn't deterred by the many references to literature, myth philosophy and religion. But its the narration that makes an otherwise weighty listen all but inaccessible. It sound like it's being read by someone who hasnt fully learned to read yet. There is a staccato quality, with unnatural pauses between each word which becomes so frustrating. One to read instead.

Drivel
No idea why this was recommended, delivers no valuable insight at all, it is written with no sense of structure or form, it's trying to be intellectually superior but fails. It is not helped by the very poor narration which does not flow and is impossible to listen to.

A great work, an awful audio edit…
Carl Jung’s work is rich and far reaching in its exploration, sadly spoiled as a listening experience by an appalling audio edit which sounds robotic, stilted and disjointed in the extreme. Very poor.
